the work without permission and we're mere
ly trying to get that much off the city at the
city's peril.
The committee was given power to act
by the council and they did act. The report

tent, battues. A strange incident OF
Eastern life, but true one, occurred
some twelve years ago at one OF these
royal huntings- As usual. couple OF
regiments accompanied the Shah on
his hunting party. The men acted as
heaters. A tiger was wounded. and
was making off under the Kings eyes.
The royal second barrel was discharged,
but did not kill the wounded animal.
Fearful of losing his quarry, the King
was reloading (muzzle-loaders are still
preferred by Persians), when private
soldier seized the tiger by the tail and
detained him long enough for the Shah
to despatch the animal. His Majesty
made that soldier a Captain on the spot

She dresses dolls. She's what we call

DEATH.

He plucks the pain from youthful breast,
And stills the groan Of burdened age;
He lays the suffering down to rest,
And drives the cruel from the stage.
He takes no bribe, he fears no threat;
But walks the land and sweeps the sea;
Throws back the doors whose hinges fret,
And sets the godlike spirit free.
He raps the door of rich and poor;
Goes through the earth with noiseless feet
He shakes his glass at prince and boor,
Then winds them in his icy sheet.
He's strange and cold, breaks bolts and bars,
Dethrones the King unbinds the slave:
He walls the sun, and hides the stars,
And lays nation in its grave.
